Hi,
I've posted the following message in Rosegarden-devel mailing list, and
Michael pointed me to an old thread from you about the same subject:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-audio-dev_AT_music.columbia.edu/msg03322
Attached is a little program summarizing what I have found about the file
format at this moment. I would like to know if you have more information,
ideas or want to collaborate in this task.
Regards,
Pedro
